I'm sure he did what he always does, posts some BS that has nothing actually to do with disproving a damn thing anyone else has written, nor shown it to be inaccurate, and then incorrectly claiming some kind of defeat. Another delusion, much like your own,

That's all he ever does, write lie after lie, and twist everything into his usual altered sate of reality.

No boots on the ground, Ed, as I said, you displayed total ignorance of the subject, period, as usual!

Mr Obama reportedly signed the order, known as a presidential "finding", within the last two or three weeks.

Such findings are a principal form of presidential directive used to authorise secret operations by the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA and the White House declined immediate comment.

The New York Times reported that the CIA has had clandestine operatives who have been gathering intelligence for air strikes and making contact with the rebels for several weeks. </div></div>

YVW ... and my post was not to endorse nor condemn US boots on the ground.

Not knowing their full mission I cannot comment as to whether I agree or not with their use.

To date, being used to rescue downed US air crews I agree with entirely. Had I been POTUS I would have received something in return for our troubles however.

As opposed to invading and taking the oil with our own troops, when Khadaffyduck was stomping a mudhole in the resistance and walking it dry, I would have demanded a cut of the Libyan oil fields in exchange for our air support.

The point of the post was to demonstrate who doggedly naive some members can be ... clinging to each of dear leader's lies like a drowning man would to the reeds.

Basically gayle was ignoring reality and now we have naz using sarcasm to hide ignorance.

The boots were there on the ground, both military and CIA, and it has, so far, been successful. As with the removal of bin Laden we all give applause when the job is successful.
